Brain Balance Has a Non-Medical Approach to Help Your Child

Brain Balance is the leading drug-free program designed to help kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, anxiety, and academic performance. Our comprehensive programming incorporates learnings from cognitive, behavioral and nutrition fields—an integrated approach that is literally redefining what’s possible.

Is something blocking your child’s social, behavioral or academic progress? Brain Balance picks up where conventional approaches leave off, going beyond the treatment of symptoms to address root causes. At Brain Balance, we’re not about coping with barriers. We’re about knocking them down, one small breakthrough at a time.

Research Shows Brain Balance is Effective

A Harvard study found that kids who participated in the Brain Balance Program saw a significant reduction in ADHD index scores, discernible changes in hyperactivity, enhanced cognitive attention, and reductions in oppositional behavior.

We are continually collaborating with world class researchers to show the efficacy of the program and reveal through data how the Brain Balance Program can help children, teens and adults improve.

Stories from Brain Balance Center of Pasadena

Check back here for updates to our local family stories!

"Brain Balance has touched our lives in the most meaningful way possible. We took our child to them when he was 3 and was diagnosed with autism. He had a number of language and motor both fine and gross deficiencies. He was categorized as being in the severe spectrum. We met with Jim and Lori and were shown the Brain Balance facility. They are one of the most wonderful people we've ever met. They are very knowledgeable about the disorder, and combined with their life achievements as children educators and the advanced science behind the Brain Balance Program, we have decided to put our child in their hands. I have to say it is one of the biggest contributors to our son's success. He has changed so much since entering the program. He has learned how to express himself with confidence, has changed socially and blossomed into an amazing, fun, curious child. He always looks forward to his sessions at BB and always welcomes going there. Whenever we have concerns, Jim and Lori's doors are always open for us. They have so much helpful information and knowledge that have allowed us to understand the disorder more and helped us navigate the ways to help our child. They are genuinely loving and sincere people and it shows in what they do. BB touches all aspects - whether social, psychological, emotional or even nutrition. It is truly a breakthrough "treatment" that is not based on artificial drugs. It is science-oriented and we are the living proof that it works! When one thinks that having ASD is the end, please know that it is NOT. Your child is not stuck to being autistic, please give this program a chance."

"I just wanted to send a quick note to say that we have noticed some HUGE improvements in Luke lately. Here are just a few of the things we have noticed....Better able to handle disappointment or things not going his way. Positive attitude during transition times (breakfast to school, school to camp, camp to home). He used to protest transition times. Able to get himself dressed without constant reminders. Willing to be the "big brother" and help John when he's upset. Playing on his with his brothers quietly (like playing with Star Wars toys or building legos). In fact, he built the first lego set I've ever seen him build and followed the instructions! Able to read a map at the zoo and tell me where to go next. Able to express himself verbally without the need for hitting, punching, etc. More focused during school time. Increase in retention of facts. Ability to problem solve with friends and brothers if they have a disagreement. Improved reading comprehension. Overall, more flexible and able to tolerate the ups and downs of the days without huge emotional outbursts. Able to entertain himself. Recognizing when he is about to tell a lie and stop himself, re-center, and tell the truth. Enjoys cooking and able to follow instructions and also he is more cautious."
